These important life lessons sponsored by MS Word bullets

Don’t leave your apartment at 8:53 am with only a screwdriver and your new license plates.

When leaving said apartment, try to wear something other than yoga pants and a white tee shirt. Like a bra and underwear.

When you realize you’ve locked yourself out and have only a car key, don’t berate yourself for not [...]

Kris: the other bright meat

I’m tired of living the anti-healthy lifestyle. For all intents and purposes, my picture should be on the FDA Web page devoted to How Not to Treat What God Gave Ya, the one that would pair me with some uberradiant Kris antithesis like Ashley Judd or Denise Austin. She’d be demonstrating how to make popsicles [...]

Waiting for Godot, Guffman & Greece

I’m waiting for perfection. I have a new spring Coach that has been sitting in the bag for weeks as I’m waiting for the perfect day for its debut. Today is the perfect day, of course, with a cloudless sky and a high of 80 breezy degrees, but my outfit just won’t do. I’m also [...]

Tonight’s vet exam was quite thorough. There was palpating and prodding and yes, there was gooey clear lube, and quite [...]

Because when you think that you can’t take anymore, that your body might implode because this! 2008! it can’t get any crappier four months in, what with your father dying and all the other left of happy that has chosen to dump itself in your lap, you find out that it can indeed get worse. [...]
